GOOGLE SHEETS MASTERING HOW TO GET A DYNAMIC SUM FROM DYNAMIC RANGE BASED ON VALUE IN DROPDOWN
Welcome to our YouTube tutorial on how to calculate the sum of a dynamic range in Googlesheets! In this video, we will explore two different approaches to achieve this using the SUM, INDIRECT, MATCH function combination and the SUM, INDEX, MATCH function combination.
📊 Spreadsheet Setup:
Our data contains columns for "Month" and "Sales," along with a dropdown menu that allows us to select a specific month. When a month is selected, our formula will dynamically sum the values from January to the selected month.
💡 Approach 1: SUM, INDIRECT, MATCH Functions:
We'll start by demonstrating how to use the SUM, INDIRECT, and MATCH functions to accomplish our task. By combining these functions, we can create a flexible and dynamic range for our SUM formula. We'll guide you through the step-by-step process of building this formula and explain how each function contributes to the overall calculation.
💡 Approach 2: SUM, INDEX, MATCH Functions:
Next, we'll explore an alternative method using the SUM, INDEX, and MATCH functions. This approach allows us to achieve the same dynamic sum range outcome but with a different set of functions. We'll walk you through the process of constructing this formula, highlighting the role of each function involved.
🔎 Comparative Analysis:
After demonstrating both approaches, we'll provide a comparative analysis of the two methods. We'll discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, helping you understand when to use one over the other.
📚 Prior Excel Knowledge:
No worries if you're new to Google sheets or these functions! We'll explain each function's purpose and usage, ensuring you have a solid understanding of the concepts involved. However, some basic familiarity with Excel formulas and functions will be beneficial.
